Welcome back readers! So something screwed with last chapters font, I think... but now it's fixed! I have no idea how or why it happened, it just, did.

That aside, I have no new announcements to make(As I am pre-writing this chapter alongside 4). So you guys get straight to reading the actual story!

I wanted to thank all the followers who enjoy this story and read it every time it gets updated. And to those of you who do, I'm sorry for the wait. However it'll be well worth it, since now the story starts to heat up.

Last chapter was Yang, now we move on to Blake!

Chapter 5: Blake's early loss? What I fear the most.

Silver's POV

Me and Yang trudged through the swampy area. She mumbled under her breath what sounded like curse words, and I was recollecting why I thought having Blake fight a King Taijitu in a swampland was a good idea. Nonetheless, we eventually arrived at the place we needed to be.

I sat behind the large bush as I watched Blake fight her opponent. Her quick movements were no longer what they were, moving around on the swampland made sure of that. She slipped and slid every time she tried to sprint in a certain direction. The fight was going no where fast.

What's more, there was quick sand surrounding the area she was fighting, so she couldn't escape.

"Are you going to let her die or something?" Yang asked me, worried for her friend.

"No, it won't kill her."

"Have you met a Grimm?!" She exclaimed in anger.

"Yang, do you understand what fear is?"

"Pretty much, why?"

"Because that's why they won't kill her. They fear me, Yang. Demons that feed off pure negative energy, are terrified when I approach them. Do you understand what I'm getting at?"

She nodded and continued to watch as Blake fought helplessly against the King Taijitsu. However, after a good ten minutes of watching her getting tossed around like a rag-doll, I came to the conclusion she wasn't ready yet.

I jumped forward, colliding with the Taijitsu. The creature stood back for a moment, somehow curious about my choice of action.

"She's had enough, however do not leave this area. She'll be back." I said to the Grimm, in a fearful response it nodded and slithered away into the swamp.

Yang limped out from behind the bush as well, hoping to greet her also injured friend.

"Is she okay?" Yang asked, looking over her with worry.

"She's fine, though she has a few more broken bones than you do. Hopefully we can get her to safety quickly enough." I replied.

"Anything she should have done to win?" she asked, staring in the direction of the monster.

"King Taijitsu's are much like your everyday python, but the size of a small house and with two heads. Normally you'd fight a snake by cutting it or stabbing it. But, King Taijitsu's have a special lubricant that forms on their bodies as they fight, their skin becomes so slippery even a sword will slip right off them. So basically the longer the fight, the smaller chance the Huntsman or Huntress has to kill it."

"Is it constantly there? Or does it only form when they fight?"

"It DOES only form when they fight, but they themselves are limited to movement, creating openings for ranged attacks, but even after the fight it takes a while for the lubricant to dry."

"Well isn't that interesting?" Yang asked, looking at her injured friend.

"I'll get her home, you go watch the other-" I picked up Blake, but was briefly interrupted by Yang.

"Nope. You need to see them for yourself, otherwise it won't be fair. After all, we all made a 'special' deal with each other to share you evenly." She said with a cutesy grin.

"Is that so, well then I'd better not impose on your deal. However, I already said I'm not taking my pants off anytime soon."

"Oh, I know. But don't worry, I'll take them off for you." She smirked and carried Blake off to towards the city."And don't worry, I'll have the nurse look at her."

"We have a nurse at Beacon? I had no idea, I guess I'll have to introduce myself, being the one who put them in danger in the first place. Oh well." I thought to myself as I headed for the next location.

On my way there I ran into that grey haired dude from earlier.

"So... I don't know why you wanted me to record that shit, considering the results... but here." he said as he approached me and handed me the video recorder.

"Thanks, Mercury, right?" I asked.

"Yup, I see my work here is done-" I interrupted him mid-sentence before he bounded off somewhere.

"Wait. Let me ask you something, exactly what were you trying to accomplish when you first arrived here? I know Cinder is cryptic as hell, but I know she was planning something, but it backfired when I showed immediate aggression." I said with frustration.

However instead of an answer he just shrugged and put on a smug look.

"I don't know exactly, it wasn't all that terrifying to be honest with you. I'm surprised you were able to intimidate her so easily." he said in a purposely suspicious tone.

"Really now?" he nodded.

"And I want to see what she's so afraid of." he cracked his knuckles and charged me.

He brought his leg high into the air and brought it downwards. But I effortlessly blocked it with my left arm.

"You sure about that? Cause I don't think you've got the right idea about me." I threw his leg off and delivered a powerful punch to his sides, however I missed my mark when he moved slightly backwards. I was hoping to end the fight quickly by hitting him in the kidney, but he had other plans.

He quickly retaliated and sent his other leg upwards, aiming for my face. In less than a split second I jumped backwards, sweeping my leg around, knocking him off his feet. I then jumped up and delivered a badass looking haymaker to his stomach.

As he flew towards the ground blood spurted out of his mouth. I smirked and darted after him, this time hitting my mark with a spiraling kicked that sent him flying into a tree.

"Quick and easy, just the way in needs to be." I said with a sigh. I looked over his unconscious body, he seemed upset about something, even in an unconscious state he was upset. I could take a few guesses, one would be for losing so easily, the second could be for a completely random reason... But for now I have to hurry over to Ruby.

I picked up the video recorder and sped away South.

I approached the area where Ruby was fighting. She had just defeated about defeated the Grimm that surrounded her. And, after killing the last one, she looked over to me with a cheesy grin.

"How was that?" She asked me, seemingly proud of her actions. However I could tell this was merely the adrenaline, cause her injuries were... less than forgiving.

"Pretty impressive, you certainly are Yang's sister. But you chose the easiest of the four foes. In exact order it went, West, East, North and then at the lowest level of difficulty, South."

"Well that's not very encouraging... meanie." She said with a pout.

"I can't sugar coat this, Ruby. You guys are the ones who signed up for this, remember?" I said to her in a stern voice. Though, another quick look over her expression assured me that she didn't like how serious I was being.

I reached over and put a hand on her head, petting her as if she were somewhat of a dog. Which sounds degrading, but she seemed to enjoy anyway. It was odd but I continued the action for a bit before resuming.

"Besides, I have to hurry and check with Weiss before heading back. Can you make it home on your own?" I asked her, she shrugged lightly and smiled.

"I'm not sure, I don't have super senses like you do. I don't have any idea in the slightest how to get home!" She said with confidence, even though that wasn't really something to be proud of.

"You know what? It's probably better if you just come with me anyways." Ruby nodded in response as we headed North.

As we walked I started to think about the possible consequences of this situation. I took four under-aged girls from the school out into the woods to "train" them. And to be honest, the more I thought about it, the more wrong that phrase seemed. So naturally I stopped thinking about it.

Another thing I ended up thinking about was the fact that all this had happened in less than two hours. I brought them out here to test their skills, I met with that douche-lady and her accomplices, and now I was already almost finished evaluating their skills. I thought it would take a while longer, so I guess that's something else they need to work on, stamina.

"What are you thinking about?" Ruby asked me curiously, tilting her head slightly.

"Trying think of ways to get you girls more stamina, why?" She gasped slightly at my answer, I looked over to her to see a light blush on her face."The hell's gotten into you?"

"Well... I'm not sure if it's alright but... could we wait till we get back for that?" Her face was about as red as her cape at this point, and I could tell why.

"First of all, it's NOTHING like what you're thinking, believe me. I set a boundary for a reason, doesn't mean I'm going to break my own rule." I said.

"R-right..."

After that there was an awkward silence between us, one that I never thought possible. Especially since it was Ruby we're talking about. Though thankfully the silence didn't last too long, as another voice joined in.

"It seems you two are getting along well." The voice loomed over us. Ruby took out her weapon, I could assume she didn't recognize the voice.

"What do you want now, Cinder?"

"I'll give you a hint, you know what you were just talking about? Well take what red here said literally." She said with an evil grin. I paused for a moment, considering my options-

"No." I said flipping her off.

"Oh come on, I'll make it worth your while." She coaxed, jumping down from the tree branch she was sitting on.

"No." I once again flipped her off.

"Why not? We're both adults here, it's not like there anyone's gonna say anything-"

"No."

"Really? Not even if I do this?" She pulled her dress downward, exposing her... cleavage? I know she's weird, but Ruby had more of an actual chest than she did. And Ruby was what, not even sixteen?

"If that's supposed to arouse me then I think you've got a few screws loose."

"Or this?" She asked, flashing me a glimpse of her underwear. I was about to make a list of how many times I'd have to say the word "no" in the next fifteen minutes.

"Nope."

"Glasses?" She pulled out a random pair of nerdy glasses and put them on.

"Ie."

"Half naked?"

"Non."

"Curly hair?"

"Is that even a fetish?" I asked with a slight laugh.

"Pole dancing?"

"Hindi."

"Upskirt?"

"Aucun."

"Sexy nurse?"

"Hayir."

"Cheerleader outfit?"

"Ani."

"Well you're not giving me much to work with here, at often times the fetishes happen DURING sex, not before."

"That's just it, I'm not taking my pants off." I said, slightly annoyed at her persistent antics.

"I'm sorry for being under-aged, but what's a fetish?" Ruby asked.

"Nothing you should concern yourself with. Cinder leave me , and what's in my pants, alone." I said, glaring at her as she sighed and put her hands on her hips.

"Fine fine. But I think I should warn you, my other companion went has been holding radio silence for a while now."

"You mean the one I decimated earlier?" I asked but she shook her head.

"No, the other one, Emerald. The one who went North." Cinder said, rolling her eyes as if I should have known the answer.

"Ah... well that might be a problem. I'll hurry over. You two head back to Beacon-"

"Why? She's not a student." Ruby said with a slightly angered tone, pointing to Cinder.

"Uh, yes she is actually. Cinder Fall, a Student of Mistral's own Haven Academy. Whether you believe it or not isn't an issue." I said waving her off, her expression changed to one of worry."What?"

"How is it you know so much about her? Do you know what she's done?" Ruby asked, she was starting to sound like Blake during the time before the "Breach".

"Yes, but do you really think she'd try anything with me in Beacon? She can't, at least not without me knowing." I glared at Cinder, who only gave me a sultry smile in return."Besides, I think she has... other things... on her agenda."

Ruby made a pouting face, as if to infatuate me into changing my decision. However as I walked North she stopped. They ended up following me, though. I guess that's Ruby for you, persistent as always.

An interesting ability I've developed after being in Beacon for so long, and being a Grimm, I've been able to identify everyone's Aura and categorize them. If I don't recognize their Aura, they aren't from Beacon. And to top it off, Cinder doesn't have an Aura like any Mistral Student. And to be honest, I kinda lied to Ruby. She wasn't a student, that's for sure. But if she were to get caught, that would be one less asset in my war against these trained Assassins. Though I haven't fought her, I heard from Ruby that she outmatched Glynda of all people in a Magic-based battle. Which was quite the feat.

After arriving near the site, I spoke to the two again."Alright, you two wait here. I'm heading to see if she's finished, and whether or not she's okay." I said, signaling the two of them to stay back.

As I approached the territory, I couldn't sense anything. No animals, no Grimm, no Aura, hell I could've heard a heart beat it was so quiet.

I got closer and closer to the location, and I still hadn't seen Weiss anywhere. I continued looking around for her, but when I entered a clearing, I saw the most terrifying sight of my life.

The bodies of Grimm were scattered across the ground, the Ursa I assigned included. There was also a body nearby, who I could only assume to be Emerald.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" An eerie female voice chimed behind me."Looks like I was right again!"

"Now Esther, you mustn't be prideful. He's still powerful." Two male voices said in sync, which added to the eerie feeling.

"Enough, all of you. Silver Greywitcher, I presume?" A man wearing a black suit appeared in front of me.

"I'll ask you once, and only once. Where's the girl, where's Weiss?!" I asked, my voice went into an enraged tone. Even though I hadn't even met them, my body was responding as if I absolutely despised them.

There were four of them, and they were wearing some pretty odd outfits. Two of them were wearing the exact same thing, except for the hair colors, one had red the other had violet. They were both wearing brown trench coats with white tank tops and dark grey cargo pants. The woman I heard was also standing before me, she wore a blue leather jacket with skinny jeans. The man was wearing a black suit and had a black tie.

"Now now, I can promise you she's perfectly fine. However, there are some conditions that must be met in order for it to stay that way. Ulysses, contact those delinquents on MSFT and tell them we found him. And that we may need backup." The man said, then the man with violet hair pulled out a phone and dialed.

"You give her back, now." I growled at them, but they stood unfazed.

I felt an insane amount of uneasiness whenever I made eye-contact with one of them. I felt as though I should recognize them, like they were very important to my past. But now wasn't the time to be this way, they were definitely the assassins the Atlas Military had sent. And right now I had to hit hard and hit fast, cause they had friends on their way.

"Alright then, now that we've got our reinforcements on their way, it's time for us to do what we came here to do-" The man began to speak, but I cut him off by launching him into the treeline, causing trees to fall over in wake.

I quickly hopped back and reached into my pocket and pulled out a light blue Dust crystal and chomped down on it. The two men in the same outfits charged me. I created an Ice pillar to separate the two of them, then I created a sword made of Ice.

"Well, I should have expected as much of you. It did take us an entire month just to defeat you. If you had more stamina we wouldn't have stood a chance." The suited man said, walking out of the fallen trees.

I launched two giant shards of Ice at the twin men and charged at the other immediately. He materialized a shield and a sword in his hands and ran at me, smashing the shards along the way.

He swung his sword upwards when he reached me, I dodged it flawlessly and roundhouse kicked him into the forest. I threw my sword towards him, pining him against a tree.

"Who are you people, you're pretty pathetic for a group of assassins." I said, beginning to get rather bored with their efforts.

They all began to glare at me, I glared back with an equal amount of hatred. I walked off towards a nearby mountain, hoping to get a clear view of where Weiss could be.

"GET BACK HERE! Garrison, trap him!"

"Yes sir!"

Suddenly the ground beneath my feet started to feel soft, and I began to sink beneath into the quick sand. However, I froze the ground and propelled myself upwards using pillars of ice.

I turned to the one who tried to stop me, and with a burning glare I charged him. I slammed my fist into his stomach, the sounds of cracking bones could be heard as I sent him flying in the direction of his comrades. The one I assumed to be their leader stared at me in awe, their teammate wasn't getting back up, period.

"Now now, Subject S. Don't be getting cocky now that you've beaten the mere fodder. I'm here too, you know." The woman in the group said with a wicked smile across her face.

I started to feel something painful run up my spine, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I got goosebumps. Small sparks of electricity began to emanate from her as her demonic grin grew in size.

"I'll leave to you then, Esther." The leader backed away, pulling their fallen comrade with him.

The woman charged at me, bolts of lightning surrounded her as she punched at me.

I froze ice around my leg and countered with a powerful ax kick to her uppercut. I tried to follow up with a jab, but she sidestepped me and delivered a headbutt to my stomach.

Lifting my arms into the air, I clasped my hands together and slammed downwards. The force sent her to the ground with incredible speed.

I quickly jumped backwards as she slowly recovered.

"That's not right, this isn't you! Where'd you go?!" The woman asked, the sound of insanity toned in."You never showed any mercy before, why the hell now?!"

I bit down on a white Dust Crystal, and the weight in my body lifted. I began to run faster, which I used to my advantage.

When she stood up I closed the distance, landing two swift roundhouse kicks to her body. Then I sent her flying with a blast of high pressured wind.

"Now it's my turn to ask questions. WHERE THE FUCK IS WEISS?!" I asked, now enraged."If I don't get answers, I feel no reluctance to murder you all right here."

"Why do you care so much about one girl?" The man asked."You're a demon! A monster-"

"And so what if I am? Do you think I should let what I am dictate what I want?"

He stared at me as if I was crazy, which that this point was a given. I glared back at him, still waiting for an answer to my question.

Suddenly the air around me started to warm up, I could feel my body temperature rising. My vision went blurry, a flash of red and orange flared over my eyes.

"You don't honestly believe this'll stop me, do you?" I asked, my senses and figure returning to normal.

"What the hell?! How?!"

"I would tell you, but since you won't tell me where Weiss is, it would be a waste of my valuable time. So I have but one request, you have five seconds before I rip your lunges from your chest. Unless of course you tell me where THE FUCK SHE IS!"

I honestly had no more patience. These assassins were here to kill me, but instead they were annoying me.

"Five."

"N-now hold on!" The woman named Esther said in a slightly terrified tone.

"Four."

"JUST RUN, GET AS FAR AWAY FROM HERE AS POSSIBLE!" The man shouted at the top of his lunges.

"Three."

They sprinted off into the trees, leaving their two comrade's corpses behind. I glared at them as they ran off. As I did, I sensed four more figures in the vicinity.

"Two."

The new figures closed in on me in an instant, and I was hit with a large explosion. However I recovered and glared in the direction of the projectile.

"One."

"You don't have the smallest bit of fear, do you?"

"No, the thing I'm afraid of the most, is not being able to save the people who helped me develop as a person."

I charged at them for the last time, this time I'd make damn sure they were dead.

Ruby and Cinder sat up against a tree, the sound of screaming could be heard from their location. It gave poor Ruby goosebumps, and she sat up to go investigate. However, Cinder stopped her.

"Why are you here anyway?" Ruby asked, staring at Cinder.

She didn't answer, the feeling of fear she had been feeling over the past few minutes had overwhelmed her other senses and she could sense the presence of Death himself.

Silver appeared out from behind a tree, scowling over his shoulder in disgust. He looked towards his two companions, who wore the looks he dreaded them ever to wear.

Ruby never got an answer to her question, as she herself forgot it the moment Silver stepped out from behind that tree. The reason for both of them being terrified was the fact Silver had blood splattered on his hands.

"Is everything alright?" He asked, shaking his hands off in a random direction.

"What the hell are you?" Cinder asked back, standing in front of Ruby.

Silver crossed his arms and glared at Ruby, who was sitting there innocently, her eyes were opened wide and her pupils were mere dots.

"Ruby, I warned you about things like this happening. I didn't ask you to join me, you asked me. Remember that." He said, walking off.

"How the fuck did you guys manage to fall for that?!" Cinder turned to Ruby, she was so terrified she had shed tears.

"The same way you did. He's not like that on purpose. In fact he wanted us to stay out of it, but we didn't listen, we kept asking to join him on this mission of his."

"Yet none of you signed up for THIS. Pathetic. I have a right to be terrified, he could have and probably still will do that to me! You all on the other hand..." Cinder trailed off, cringing at any thoughts she might have.

"You have every right to call me a monster, that's what I am. And I accept that as my fate." Silver reappeared with an unconscious Weiss in hand."Look, Ruby, take Weiss back to the others. I'm leaving Vale."

Ruby began to shed tears as she went quite possibly more wide-eyed than before.

"Hold up! You're just up and leaving?! The hell?!" Cinder took Weiss from him in Ruby's stead, glaring at the silver-haired boy.

"I have to, the Atlas military is going to send more and more until they put me down. And if anything were to happen to Vale, or you all, in the process... I won't be able to stop it. But things are better this way anyway-"

"Shut up." Weiss, who awoke from being unconscious, said in an angry tone of voice."Shut the fuck up..."

"Weiss..." Ruby said sadly.

"We damn well knew the consequences. We did it anyway, do you know why?!"

"Because Ozpin asked you? I can see that happening, considering the brainwashing he's done to everyone at that god forsaken school."

"Silver, I can't speak for the rest of the group when I say this... But the reason I went along is... is..." Weiss trailed off, Silver began to coax it out of her.

"What? What is it? What reason do you have for throwing your life away for a monster who feeds off the very negative energy of humanity?" Silver had just about lost it, he didn't want to lose these people he cared so much for.

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" Weiss shouted at the top of her lunges.

Silver went wide-eyed, the sheer shock from the confession was enough. But when he started thinking about it, he'd never realized that he'd been loved before. Nor had he ever been in love. Of course he cared for her and the team, but he thought this kind of thing would only ever surface as one of Yang's jokes.

Weiss's pale white skin turned a deep red, as did Silver's.

"Really?" He asked anxiously.

"Oh come on! Get going!" Cinder tossed Weiss forward, causing her to fall into Silver's arms. The woman smirked and helped Ruby to her feet."Alright, we're off-"

"WAIT! Er... I LOVE YOU TOO!" Ruby said, attempting to throw herself into Silver's arms, but failing miserably. She face-planted into the dirt and Silver crouched down to her.

"Ruby, are you okay?" Silver asked, poking at her gently before picking her up.

"I MEAN IT!" The young girl said in a pouty voice.

"Now hold on! I confessed first!" Weiss intervened, trying to force the red-head out of Silver's hands.

"Before we continue, let's get you two home. Those injuries aren't gonna fully heal on their own."

A bit of a shorter chapter, but things are going to get fun soon! You know, inb4 all the bad stuff I planned.

When I say "Fun" I mean like cliche harem anime fun. Emphasis on HAREM. If you do not know what that means, it means that Silver is going to be having "Super happy fun time" with team RWBY(And maybe the two other woman he's met).

However, this is all I can do until then. The story's kinda ahead of time, I planned to create this big Arc against the Assassins, but that Arc would reveal stuff about Silver I didn't want on the surface until like 8-10 chapters in. However things will be fun time till chapter 7, then stuff goes down.

This is just a heads up. And I mean MAJOR heads up.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this particularly short chapter. Hope you read the next one!
